Yeah, the Bengals were probably guaranteed to take Ellis at 9 if the Saints hadn't traded up. Don't know the details of the Saints-Patriots trade, though.

Apparently Jacksonville just traded up to Baltimore's spot.

Saints and Pats swapped first rounders this year, and the Saints sent a 3rd rounder in exchange for a fifth rounder.

Harvey makes sense.

i think jax will definitely draft a DE otherwise cincinatti will with the next pick. any DE at this point would be a reach though imho.

Korrupt · 04-26-2008, 04:02 PM

Yeah, the first seven picks were pretty much guaranteed. From here on out it becomes a crapshoot. Harvey I don't like here, but whatever.

Bengals are taking Rivers. I thought the Pats might grab him...

I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats trade back down again from #10.

davemess · 04-26-2008, 04:05 PM

LB is a need for them and Rivers is rated right in around here...... would be a smart move.

Was hoping they would go with a WR just so Chad Johnsons head would explode

OLB options for the Pats are starting to go. Presumably, the Patriots would take a cornerback, their other need, but they probably should trade down again if they can.

Ravens received two third rounders and a fourth rounder from the Jags in exchange for the first round pick swap.

agreed. i think NE was hoping rivers would slip through. i see them taking a CB now but we all know the CBs this year are graded out pretty evenly. makes sense for NE to trade down and get some extra picks.

I think the Pats are going for Albert, he can step in at Guard this year and maybe move outside next.

LOL. They showed the Bengals draft party, and it was just...nothing. No reaction. None. What the Bengals really needed, and what they've been trying to get this offseason, was a defensive tackle. They swung and missed twice in free agency, and got beaten to Ellis. Rivers will help them, but he's not what they desperately need.
